Members juniorz1 Posted February 7, 2012 Members Share Posted February 7, 2012 The problem with it is that Hope has been onscreen from birth til 1987, "died" in 1990, and returning in 1994, spending 90-94 as "Princess Gina." John, meanwhile, showed up in 1986 as "The Pawn" and has been onscreen. So their "hazy years" do not coincide and therefore, it's not possible that could have conceived EJ. And if the writers were planning on using "subway sex" as the time of conception, well, that's impossible too. EJ was born well before that, not to mention that Zack was born during what would have been the timeline for Hope to have had "Subway Sex Offspring." So none of this is even remotely possible (including John & Hope being legally married) and therefore it makes a mess of history, not good use of it.

Members Cheap21 Posted February 7, 2012 Members Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thank you! The show has had so many retconns, children SORASed out of order, flat out ignoring history to suit the plot, etc...that this doesnt phase me as much. Wow, no offense, but I think you went overboard and took things the wrong way. I didnt even realize that apparently we had an "issue" with each other till you just mentioned it. Whatever the case (which I was not aware of before), you misinterpreted my post and it wasnt meant to be snarky, disrespect or a blatant putdown directed solely at you. I really dont see how my post could be turned into that when that wasnt the intention but whatever. Im big enough to just move on and be more mindful when it comes to reading and/or responding back to your posts Hope doesnt have to give birth in order to be a mother nor do two people have to have sex to be coparents. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 I can't believe Days viewers are bringing up timelines. EJ IS OLDER THAN EVERY SUPERCOUPLE CHILD BORN BEFORE HIM ONSCREEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 True...Wasn't Will born before him or am I wrong?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 LOL...I never even realized that. Will was born in 1995. EJ was born 2 years later in 1997 but somehow ended up being his stepfather about a decade later. Sami was born in 1984 yet the two are treated as being the same age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yup...EJ turned out to be Will's sugar daddy.....lol....I thought I was right about that...lol....EJ looks like he could be in his 40s while Will is still 20 or so.....lol So the EJ and Sami romance makes it even weirder...lol Is Sami a sugar mama...lol??

Members Eric83 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 LMAO... not to mention Philip and Will born the same year lol. And didn't Kate and Roman have Cassie and Rex together without conceiving via sex. They could do that with Hope and John but honestly I don't want it to be an existing character on screen. New character please. Its just so cheesy to me when out of nowhere a younger character with no or minimal familial ties is suddenly someone's child. The Daniel/Maggie stuff still pisses me off.

Members Cheap21 Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 even more contrived is that Marlena gave birth to their kids. Like really? Retcon of a retcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's true but there's never been a time in their existence that both characters have been offscreen simultaneously, so it makes it kinda hard to buy that they did anything in any way that resulted in their child being born. It's not about timelines- it's about long-time characters that we have watched grow up/appear with our own eyes. Hope has been on DAYS since birth- EJ disappeared all but immediately after birth. It's MUCH easier to play with the timeline of a character who spent their entire life offscreen than to play with one who has spent their entire life onscreen. Sorry, but I'm more apt to buy EJ as an adult than I am messing with anything in Hope's history. Hell, JENNIFER would make a better candidate for this storyline because there WERE times that neither Jenn or John were on canvas. Meanwhile, either Hope or John has ALWAYS been on the show since Hope was born in the 70s!!!! They can't. Again, Kate & Roman spent many years simultaneously off canvas so it could be done with them and a slew of other characters. It just so happens that John & Hope AREN'T two of them and everyone seems to know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 Actually, the way I've been taking it is if any of this were true, then EJ isn't really EJ and at some point (maybe right before Stefano got his hands on him) was switched with another. Either way, I'm not buying the John/Hope theory. If anything, I still think EJ could be Maggie's son and Daniel could be EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
